I made a coat. How do you like it so far?

[devilgrrl]

It's not quite finished, I have to reinforce stitch here and there, plus finishing the buttonhole. Then there are the sleeves to contend with..... The coat is reversible and the sleeves are a real pain in the butt!!!!! :hurts:


Anyway here it is:


What do you think?

P.S. I'm going to make a hat to go with it. :-)

1. Very Devilish :)

[Patiod]

2. Mmmmm....fuzzy

Looks warm AND stylish

[devilgrrl]

3. It's REALLY warm.

I tried it on and I said to myself "damn! this coat is going to be warm!" Can't wait 'til I'm done. :-)

4. GORGEOUS! I'd love to see that full length down to your ankle, that

would be HOT.

6. Nice!

And I really like the lining!!

[uppityperson]

7. Nice. Is the red fabric fuzzy knit stuff?

If it is I have a long sleeved shirt that matches it and love to wear it. Nice and fuzzy coat, good job!

[devilgrrl]

8. It's very velvety

It's also reversable, so I can wear the red side out as well. :-)

9. ooooooooooo, I love fuzzy velvet stuff

The coat seems to match your username :evilgrin:

[devilgrrl]

11. I'm going to make a hat to go with it.

Also, I can't wait to test its warmth when I head back to western New York for the holidays. :-)

Gotta finish it first. :-(

23. What are you making it from?

Are you sewing it? Or using a sweater machine of some sort?

Just curious...

[devilgrrl]

25. Sewing machine...

from a pattern by McCalls.

In matter of fact, I'm just about finished with it, I just have to shore up around the pockets. The only negative thing is that I kind of f***ed up the button hole. :-(

Hey, I was my first attempt :shrug:

I'll post pictures of the finished product tomorrow.

[bliss_eternal]

28. Looking forward to seeing it!

:hi:

...again, very nice work so far!

[WildEyedLiberal]

10. Very pretty

What did you make it with?

[devilgrrl]

12. Fun Fir and this velvety fabric...

it's the first time I've ever sewn a coat. The sleeves are a pain but for the most part, it was a breeze. Can't wait to try another one. :-)

[Callalily]

13. I am totally impressed!

And a hat to match will complete your ensemble very nicely.

[devilgrrl]

14. I'm going make a scarf too.

:-)

[Sugar Smack]

15. That is beautiful.

It looks so classic and punk at the same time. And it looks REALLY cozy. Damn, I love what I learn about DUers. You've got talent.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. NICE!

I'm sure it will go well with the weather you encounter in New York...

Might be too warm out here, though, except on the rare really cold day...

But I LIKE it! You've done a fantastic job...plus hat and scarf?

Wowee! You go, girl......

17. It'll be fine in the high desert during the winter.

It can get pretty cold up in Joshua Tree during February.

Thanks. :-)

[WindRavenX]

Enjoy your well earned craft.

[Evergreen Emerald]
